Would you ever be in a committed friend with benefits situation?

Sex, trust and fun, without the money, stress and expectations.

I think it'd be ideal.

I'm older, my kid is older, I don't need or want all the things people dream of together that get complicated.

I think what you’re describing is more of a real partner that you just don’t live with and keep your own financial security. That’s complete do able and in most cases I would argue can work out better.

Friends with benefits often gets really messy. I’m currently in a FWB/situationship and to be honest it’s fucking with my head. My head knows a relationship wouldn’t work and he has too many qualities that I don’t align with. I wouldn’t choose him BUT I feel sad that he wont choose me and pissed at myself for not being able to walk away 🤷🏼‍♀

@Bleed

I think this is what I mean.

I do want to actually care about and choose each other, but I don't need the rest of the "we are attached" signs.

And FWB if you aren't actually friends sounds complicated and confusing.

Some level of trust mixed with desire would make for a good time.
